Overview of London Terrace Towers at 470 West 24th Street

Built in 1930, London Terrace Towers offers the ultimate in pre-war architectural details and a level of amenities that distinguish it from most others. The staff includes a full-time doorman, numerous porters and a resident manager. One of its most famed features is the half-Olympic sized pool in a windowed room surrounded by the original Craftsman tiles. There are also steam rooms and saunas, a landscaped roof deck, a laundry room, a bike room, and a private gym accessible with a small annual fee. Electricity and heating are included in the monthly maintenance, and an adjacent 24-hour parking garage is also available through separate arrangement.

London Terrace is located in the heart of Chelsea and all the vibrancy it has to offer, from the trendy art galleries and chic retail and dining establishments to Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, and Hudson River Park. And just a few blocks away are plenty of additional attractions in both the West Village to the south and Hudson Yards to the north.

Carter’s Review

"A famous row on 23rd Street of four-story townhouses with large front gardens known as London Terrace and a similar row of two-story townhouses on 24th Street known as Chelsea Cottages, both designed by Alexander Jackson Davis in 1845, were demolished to make way for this gargantuan, 1,670-unit, full-block apartment project, which was completed in 1930.

The history of the site is wonderfully described in a well-illustrated chapter in Andrew Alpern's superb book, "Luxury Apartment Houses of Manhattan An Illustrated History" (Dover Publications, 1992)."

Broker & Buyer Comments

Please note that these comments have not been reviewed or confirmed by CityRealty and may be old, incomplete or otherwise inaccurate. Be sure to consult with a qualified real estate specialist for up-to-date information.

The individual lobbies and the blocklong private garden mitigate the enormity of this pile. With all of the residential and commercial development to the west and north, this location feels less remote, almost central! Don't forget the pool!
